 Dividend
 
 Keeping in view the overall performance during the year, your Directors
 are pleased to recommend a dividend of Rs. 1.40 per Equity Share on the
 face value of Rs. 1 each being 140% dividend, payable to those members
 whose names appear in the Register of Members as on the Book Closure
 Date. The Dividend and dividend distribution tax will absorb a sum of
 Rs. 23.5 crores.
 
 Results of Operations (MOFSL Standalone)
 
 The standalone revenues for the year were Rs. 64.25 crores, largely
 flat as compared to Rs. 64.26 crores last year. Interest income went up
 by 55% to Rs. 39.66 crores, on account of an increase in the average
 loan book size, as well as participation in certain IPO financing
 transactions for the Coal India, Power Grid and MOIL issues. Income
 from arbitrage operations was lower as compared to last financial year
 due to lower deployment of surplus funds in arbitrage.
 
 Due to higher operating expenses and provisioning for standard loan
 assets as required by the RBI, the total expenses (before depreciation
 and interest) registered a 59.44% jump to Rs. 6.54 crores this year.
 Profit before depreciation, interest, and taxation (EBITDA) decreased
 by 4.07% this year, from Rs. 60.16 crores to Rs. 57.71 crores. With a
 reduction in the Companys average borrowing this year, interest and
 finance charges fell by 59.40%. Hence, the Companys net profit
 increased marginally by 0.62% to Rs. 42.66 crores.
 
 The detailed results of operations of the Company are given in the
 Management Discussion & Analysis forming part of this Report.
 
 Consolidated Results of Operations
 
 The Consolidated Revenues of the Company for the year were Rs. 600.37
 crores, a decline of 6.97% as compared to the previous year.
 
 – Broking and related revenues declined by 4.78% to Rs. 433.37 crores
 this year. The market volumes have seen a dramatic shift towards the
 low-yield options segment which contributed 57% of total volumes, as
 compared to 37% a year back.  This disproportionate rise of low
 yielding options segment has resulted in a drop of our overall market
 share from 3.2% to 2.5% this year. However, our market share in the
 cash segment remains stable. As of 31st March, 2011 we had a total of
 709,041 customers, including 628,012 retail and distribution clients.
 Our retail distribution stands at 1,644 outlets across 611 cities.
 
 – Investment banking fees fell by 38.70% to Rs. 39.81 crores this year.
 This is attributed to revenue booking on few deals in advanced stages
 of execution getting postponed to the next year. However, the deal
 pipeline remains robust for the next year.
 
 – Fund-based income for the year was Rs. 73.79 crores, a growth of
 13.73%. This was boosted by a 53.89% growth in interest income to Rs.
 38.94 crores, as a result of the increase in the average loan book size
 this year.
 
 – Asset management fees increased by 6.66% to Rs. 42.73 crores. With
 Rs. 374 crores of assets managed under our three ETFs, the mutual fund
 fees increased this year. PMS fees went up by 18.08% to Rs. 29.28
 crores, as PMS assets grew from Rs. 981.7 crores to Rs. 1,258.4 crores
 this year.
 
 – Other income declined by 47.45% to Rs. 10.67 crores, as the previous
 year included profit on sale of investments of Rs. 11.23 crores.
 
 Total expenses remained largely flat for the year, at Rs. 370.81
 crores. The decline in brokerage commission earned reduced the
 brokerage shared with intermediaries by 10.95% to Rs. 138.96 crores. On
 the other hand, other operating costs and marketing/ brand promotion
 expenses increased, due to the launch of the three mutual funds this
 year. Due to the lower revenues and constant costs level this year,
 Profit before depreciation, interest, exceptional items and taxation
 (EBITDA) decreased by 17.12% to Rs. 229.56 crores. EBITDA margin
 reduced from 43% to 38%. Net profit for the year after minority
 interest stood at Rs. 137.06 crores, a decline of 19.59%.
 
 The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and its
 subsidiaries prepared in accordance with ‘Accounting Standard - 21
 prescribed by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, form
 part of the Annual Report and the Accounts. The Balance Sheet, Profit
 and Loss Account, Reports of the Board of Directors and Auditors of the

 are given in the Management Discussion & Analysis forming part of this
 report.
 
 Future Outlook
 
 Indian capital markets witnessed a challenging year with volatile FII
 net flows, muted retail participation in equities, growing shift
 towards low-yielding options and lower value of ECM deals. These were
 reflected in the overall market performance as well as in our own
 business performance.
 
 We strongly believe that India is a great growth story and is likely to
 become a US$ 5 trillion economy by 2020. Backed by strong savings,
 there would be tremendous growth opportunities for the firms operating
 in the financial services space.
 
 During the current year, we have laid a strong foundation for each of
 our business to scale up and grab a meaningful share of these
 opportunities.
